I did a full wipe ONCE from 1st to 2nd build and I noticed that when I went into the Market's Downloads section it was downloading every app I had loaded via the Market. So I suppose it does re-install all your apps, but not app data such as preferences or databases. I didn't let it finish though. I canceled everything and ran Titanium Backup to restore.

I've been getting it with relation to my launcher since the 1st build. It has gotten less frequent but it's still there. Seems to be caused by certain widgets. I use Switcher Pro, Groveshark, Pandora, Music Player, Beautiful Widgets (for the clock/weather) and Live Bookmarks widgets. I usually get the crash when I try to move a widget or remove it to put it back on with different settings.

You can browse the .zip file that contain the DC rom in a file explorer like Astro and you'll find a folder that has all the .apk's in there.

nevermind....wifi sleep policy to shut off when screen shuts off DID NOT fix the problem on the newest build.

i just got ANOTHER screen freeze.

i don't know why it will unlock if i plug it into my pc after it freezes, but it does. doesn't solve the problem of it freezing in the first place though.

didn't get these until the latest 3 builds tho, so it has to be somewhere in there that it started.

note: i have never wiped. only thing i've done is the facebook build.prop push fix

Yes I restored it but the problem now is that ever since I installed TiKL it got rid of the phone icon on the dock and replaced it with the TiKL icon. Aged uninstalling TiKL and rebooting instead of it readding the phone icon it added the market ?

Facebook Sync Fix:

Go into the FB app,Menu, Settings, scroll down, and change the sync option to Sync with Contacts. No need to "Push" or "Pull" anything.

.done

Some have reported that they dont have sync setting, if so use these adb commands first:

adb remount

adb shell sed -i 's/ro.product.name=htc_supersonic/ro.product.name=opal/g' /system/build.prop

adb shell sed -i 's/ro.product.device=supersonic/ro.product.device=sapphire/g' /system/build.prop

adb reboot

then retry FB app settings.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] katmandu421:
Well done.

Guys (and Gals I'm sure), at LEAST wipe cache and dalvik before flashing new ROMs, and if your getting wonky behavior then bite the bullet and wipe data.

A Titanium backup license is well worth the luxury of being able to start clean easily with new ROMs.

Assuming you're really actually rooted and not just "rooted" via unrEVOked, just put the files on your SD card (the CM6 nightly, and the two GAPPs files (the HDPI ones), boot into recovery (I use Quick Boot from the Market to accomplish this), make a nandroid backup so you can go back if you need to, go to the wipe menu, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache (I did each 2x), go to Flash from SD, flash the CM6 nightly file, then flash each of the GAPPS files, reboot, done.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:
seriously, that is the long way. you make it sound like you have to pull and edit the build.prop everytime. you WILL have to enter your commands everytime OR, you can pull build.prop once. edit it once. leave a copy in your tools folder.

if you have already edited it once, and have a copy in your tools folder, all you have to do is

1) uninstall facebook

2) use the command "adb remount" in a terminal, without quotes

3) use the command "adb push build.prop /system/" in a terminal, without quotes

4) reboot your phone

5) reinstall facebook

done. sure seems like my way is easier to me, lol. your way may save steps if you only had to do it once, but if you're flashing every new nightly, mine is the time saver.

for those of you that don't know what to edit in the build.prop. run his commands first, THEN pull the build.prop to your tools folder. from there you can just run my commands for each

new build that comes out. the command to pull it to your tools folder is "adb pull /system/build.prop", without quotes

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrgutier:
I decided to hack the Phone.apk source on CyanogenMod 6 EVO4G nightly so that it will do something that I've been wishing for since I moved from my Palm Pre... Roam Only. It's called "Affiliated Networks" in Android, which is accessed by going to Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Mobile networks -> System Select after you run this shell code to install. When you switch, it will still say Sprint as the provider, but dialing *228 reveals you're on the Verizon network.

I'll try to get this patch into the main tree, but haven't figured out the whole patch submitting/git pull request process. In the meanwhile, I'll try to build it against the latest source, but should work with every nightly.

EDIT: Just saw that the roam only patch got committed to the tree. Nightlies that come after cm_supersonic-07242010-003830.zip should contain it, and the hacked Phone.apk will become unnecessary.

Care to give the pros/cons to this hack?

Edit: when I did this I still got to sprint with *228. Not sure if this is because I use an airave (personal "cell" tower from sprint) or not....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kvaughan:
So if I understand this right, this hack enables the option to force roaming on any CDMA network in the PRL instead of the "Automatic" and "Sprint only" options?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrgutier:
This is used if Verizon has a strong signal and Sprint has an iffy signal. Your phone always tries to connect to Sprint by default, and only stops to roam if there is no signal whatsoever. The hack basically takes that option away.

Did you switch to "Affiliated Networks" after the reboot? I also have an Airave and setting it overrides it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan0412:
Is there a fix/workaround for an app that ALWAYS quits/FC seconds after launching? This app 'Nytimes' works with other roms but not with CM6......
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kvaughan:
Can you clarify if this works for all CDMA networks in the PRL or if this will only force Verizon? All CDMA networks would be an extremely good option to have though Verizon would cover me pretty well.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiicytuna:
I did but for me I had to do a reboot for it to "stick" ... works now. The verizon signal is even worse than the sprint signal at my house w/o the airave....so I cannot comment on faster speeds or better call quality.

When I switched it back to automatic (so it will use my airave at home) I got smart and toggled it to airplane mode and then back on and that worked without the reboot.

It should pretty much treat your PRL as if there are no Sprint towers to possibly connect to on it. So, that means 99% Verizon. I've found this most effective on my old Palm Pre when I go to Mammoth Lakes. Sprint has the worst service up there, but i eventually a zero or one bar then back to Verizon roaming. Works out to no service. Setting this option made it so I'd be roaming on Verizon permanently.
